Three ideal polarizing filters are stacked, with the polarizing axis of the second and third filters at 21 degrees and 61 degrees, respectively, to that of the first. If unpolarized light is incident on the stack, the light has intensity 60.0 w/cm^ 2 after it passes through the stack.
If the incident intensity is kept constant:
1) What is the intensity of the light after it has passed through the stack if the second polarizer is removed?
2) What is the intensity of the light after it has passed through the stack if the third polarizer is removed?

When second polarizer is removed the intensity after it passes through the stack is

I_f_3 = 27.57 W/cm^2

2 When third polarizer is removed the intensity after it passes through the stack is

I_f_2 = 102.24 W/cm^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of the second polarizing to the first is $\theta_2 = 21^o$

The angle of the third polarizing to the first is $\theta_3 = 61^o$

The unpolarized light after it pass through the polarizing stack I_u = 60 W/cm^2

Let the initial intensity of the beam of light before polarization be I_p

Generally when the unpolarized light passes through the first polarizing filter the intensity of light that emerges is mathematically evaluated as

$I_1 = \frac{I_p}{2}$

Now according to Malus’ law the intensity of light that would emerge from the second polarizing filter is mathematically represented as

$I_2 = I_1 cos^2 \theta_1$

$= \frac{I_p}{2} cos ^2 \theta_1$

The intensity of light that will emerge from the third filter is mathematically represented as

$I_3 = I_2 cos^2(\theta_2 - \theta_1 )$

$I_3= \frac{I_p}{2}(cos^2 \theta_1)[cos^2(\theta_2 - \theta_1)]$

making I_p the subject of the formula

$I_p = \frac{2L_3}{(cos^2 \theta [cos^2 (\theta_2 - \theta_1)])}$

Note that I_u = I_3 as I_3 is the last emerging intensity of light after it has pass through the polarizing stack

Substituting values

$I_p = \frac{2 * 60 }{(cos^2(21) [cos^2 (61-21)])}$

$I_p = \frac{2 * 60 }{(cos^2(21) [cos^2 (40)])}$

=234.622W/cm^2

When the second is removed the third polarizer becomes the second and final polarizer so the intensity of light would be mathematically evaluated as

$I_f_3 = \frac{I_p}{2} cos ^2 \theta_2$

I_f_3 is the intensity of the light emerging from the stack

substituting values

$I_f_3 = \frac{234.622}{2} * cos^2(61)$

I_f_3 = 27.57 W/cm^2

When the third polarizer is removed the second polarizer becomes the

the final polarizer and the intensity of light emerging from the stack would be

$I_f_2 = \frac{I_p}{2} cos ^2 \theta_1$

I_f_2 is the intensity of the light emerging from the stack

Substituting values

$I_f_2 = \frac{234.622}{2} cos^2 (21)$

I_f_2 = 102.24 W/cm^2

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter
